Subscription Law Enforcement Service Piloted In LA Amid Defunding Police

This year, violent crime across liberal-run Los Angeles County is out of control amid the "defund the police" movement. A private security firm that describes itself as a "subscription law enforcement service" has launched a pilot program in the metro area to fix this.

Motherboard reports Citizen, a neighborhood watch app, partnered with LAPS, or Los Angeles Professional Security, a private security firm, to provide a "subscription law enforcement service" to residents and businesses.

From neighborhood watch app to now a Citizen-branded vehicle driving around Los Angeles, providing security services to clients is a business idea that will likely flourish considering defund the police has crushed Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), unable to manage the metro area as shootings and murders skyrocket so far this year.

On its website, LAPS defines itself as a "subscription law enforcement service." An internal email observed by Motherboard said the company is "an additional response partner."

A Citizen spokesperson told Motherboard that "LAPS offers a personal rapid response service that we are testing internally with employees as a small test. For example, if someone would like an escort to walk them home late at night, they can request this service. We have spoken with various partners in designing this pilot project."

Subscription law enforcement services will probably flourish in liberal-run cities as defunding the police movement is backfiring as these metro areas become more dangerous.

Having the option to do something means jack shit if you don't have the balls to go through with it. Which brings me back to my original statement: You're not going to purge anyone or anything in mindcraft and you know it.

EDIT: And even if you did purge the degenerates, your actions would be that of a lone gunman committing yet another massacre that will soon be forgotten. It wouldn't inspire a purge movement that sweeps across the country. Or start a civil war. Or anything else other than a new round of laws to further restrict what you can and can't do.

I'm not going to do anything. I respect the rule of law and the comforts it brings.

But the human animal has a breaking point. And, if that point is reached collectively, things could get ugly in any country that has civilian weapon ownership.

Which, again, highlights the strangeness of people who claim to live in fear of violent, unhinged right-wingers but who also spend their time online taunting those same people that they're not going to do anything.

Sort of like those feminists who fear all men as potential rapists but also insult men all day on Twitter. You have to doubt their sincerity.

Holy shit, are they going to adopt the Sengoku period practices where only wealthy individuals could afford security?

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

I wonder of many of the ancaptards have anything worth stealing, much less be able to afford a private police subscription...

Drugs?

And I bet they'll be better at their jobs, too.

They'll have the exact same disincentives toward doing their job today's police have. Shoot a violent thug? Fired and off to jail, your bosses throw you under the bus. Tell a guy who doesn't belong in the place to leave? Racial profiling, fired. Nothing else to do but sit and munch donuts and look threatening.

Most people saw this coming, it's the next step in ACAb and defund the police.

The good thing is, the step after private security is self-policed, small, tight knit communities. Move to the countryside or a small town with a lot of land, get to know the locals and help out as much as possible, without asking for anything in return. It might be shitty now, but in 10 years time it will pay off dividends when you're eating fresh food and the rest of the country is chimpsville USA

yup pretty much.
despite the marketing about "law enforcement service", they dont have any authority to enforce the law, they cant arrest or charge anyone.

another article mentioned securitas being involved and those fuckers dont do shit for parking lot security. this is a literal escort program to get from your car to the office amdist all the bums in la.

Maybe instead of starting another samurai society, they could just wall off LA as it's own little city-state shit hole and let them all duke it out inside for everyone elses' entertainment.

This is dystopian as hell, but it is the natural end result of the anti-police movement. If there are no cops and it's this or be "protected" by some Crips imported from the nearest city, then sign me up for my OCP monthly dues.

Gee, it's almost like this was the agenda all along.

This sounds like a gritty comic book trying to be edgy in the 90's.

Neal Stephenson wrote in the early 90s a book called Snow Crash about a future America where the government has shrunk to total irrelevancy, most people don't even know who the President is and fewer care.

Every community is privately owned and patrolled by private police forces that take perps to private jails, one of which is hilariously called "The Hoosegow" themed after an old west jail complete with the staff dressing in period themed costumes as if it's a fast food restaurant or chain restaurant but it's a jail.

Outside of the privately owned communities is lawless zones, LA was destroyed in an earthquake and is now a lawless ruin populated by the homeless, most people have tuned out of reality and spend all their time in a virtual reality.

The difference is in Neal Stephenson's future America some of these communities are allowed to be "whites only" and they sure as shit aren't going to allow that in reality.

Some people theorized that was the whole point in disintegration, disarming the populous and defunding the police. Bring in psychopathic predators, make self defense illegal, dismantle the mechanisms which maintain law and order.

Which begs the question - why the fuck would the elites want to do this? What benefit do they get from Brazilification?

You're forgetting we have anti-human spiritually diseased elites. They don't want what's best for the masses. They despise them. They despise everyone who poses a risk to them. So they'll bury the middle class under a pile of debt, predation and dysfunction. Sad, miserable and atomized people are easier to control and manipulate.

Easier to control and manipulate to what end? To continue reelecting them? People are already stupid enough to do that. To get richer than they already are? Most of the wealth in western countries comes from productive citizens. Sad, miserable and atomized people aren't productive. And most western countries have no natural resources (like oil) to make up for an unproductive citizenry.

I've just started assuming a lot of the dumb shit the elites do are out of some desire to assert dominance.

You can watch how Leftists act when they gain control of a business, website or any group; they instantly start asserting their dominance and destroying any hint of dissent. And this goes doubly so if they're appointed to the position by an authority figure rather than by public support (Doesn't this ring a bell?). Eventually, the thing they've gained control of is an utter trainwreck that only houses other Leftists, who then find a new thing to infest. What's the point of this?

It's control. It's narcissism. Joseph Stalin didn't send millions of people to starve or freeze to death in Siberia because he was worried about keeping the people "productive." The modern elite is set for life, they don't care if you're productive or not because they have a jet ready to go across the planet at a moment's notice when everything collapses. Normal people look at keeping the people happy, raising productivity, maybe promoting world peace if they magically became president, but your modern 67-year old world aristocrat isn't normal and they've made a hobby out of fucking people over.

They don't want to control every person as much as just ensure 99.9% of the populace never gets succesfull enough to be their neighbors. For poor people to stay in "their place", far away from them, not to obey them, beyond the big "KEEP OUT" signs around the "Good" parts of town.

The things the elite support aren't designed to regulate what rednecks watch on TV, or keep them from ever buying a better TV, as much as ensure they'll never be able to have enough influence to determine what TV programs get made.

It's not control, its denial of upward mobility and gaining of political clout that they don't want to see anyone but them have. They really don't care what the little people do as much as they always want them in a place where they can be SURE they'll stay so the rich can just tiptoe around them and pretend they don't exist. And when a rich person turns on the TV and sees a Monster Truck show? Time to call up their Senator and get some laws made to ban motorsports as bad for the environment, not because they weren't asked permission, but because its starting to intrude on their soaps and reality shows.

It's still a smaller gang until they have more resources to employ than the largest gangs in the combined county/city in the county sheriff office or LAPD, up to that point this means nothing. The fun will be when one of these things gets into position in total size between the two government run gangs in comparison, then you'll see the real shit.

More like that bike cuck comic come to life through policy- "The amount of happiness you lost by having your bike stolen is offset by how happy the person who stole it now is, so, since the overall level of happiness in the world went up, you have no moral grounds to demand back your bike"

I don’t think the elite want to go down the path of “paid private militias defend neighborhoods”.
